Place to Go (Maybe) - Niki's Party Place

We were in the neighborhood of the Ithaca Mall when it had just opened on a weekday, and the power went out, so we had some time to kill. My kids spotted Niki's Party Place, and for $5/hour I thought "why not?". That early, the place was completely empty, but other kids started to arrive very soon. Once you get some of these bigger enthusiastic kids in there, toddlers and small kids get pushed off to the sidelines. And after only exactly a half hour my kids wanted to leave. They were also very thirsty. And we were charged for the whole hour.  But, I definitely think we'll be going back there when my kids get just a bit older, and next time I'll bring water. I only do wish they offered a half hour slot for tinier kids.
